The New York Mets have apologized after featuring two living players in a tribute some of their dead stars.


During Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves, the franchise held an event to honor their 1969 World Series winning team, sometimes known as the Miracle Mets.

As part of the ceremony, the Mets showed a memorial montage of players from the team who have died – but two of the men featured, Jim Gosger and Jesse Hudson, are still alive.

Gosger immediately took to Facebook to inform friends and family he was alive and well, while Hudson gave an interview to Forbes the following morning.

To try and atone, the Mets posted an apology message on the big screen during the following day's game, also against the Braves.

The message read: “There was an error made in yesterday's 'We Remember' segment during our 1969 anniversary ceremony in which we included the names and images of Jim Gosger and Jessie Hudson. We are sorry and deeply regret this error.

“We have spoken with both former players to express our sincerest apologies.

“We want to thank Jim and Jessie, along with their families and friends, for their gracefulness and understanding."

To compound matters, the Mets misspelled Hudson's name in their apology message.

Gosger, an outfielder, spent parts of three seasons with the Mets in a 10-year career, while pitcher Hudson's one appearance in the 1969 season proved his only one in the Major League.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
